Monitoring Weather

This week's weather may feature a lot of clouds and showers, with rain being predicted on several of the next seven days. Please remember that we only want to go out and monitor during good weather conditions, without precipitation, for the safety of our birds and our volunteers. Is it especially windy to the point where you feel like you are being blown around? That is a good sign to stay in for the day. If the temperature is below 50 degrees or above 90 degrees we ask that you skip your session and stay home, too. 

Rainfall, cold air, or excess heat can be dangerous for eggs and young hatchlings, and less stress from us is critical. Please bear in mind that hot and humid conditions later this summer are also often more conducive for thunderstorms and to keep an eye on the radar. Our birds, like this American Oystercatcher, are now beginning to nest, and more will be found in the next week. Let's be safe for everyone involved and give them plenty of space on the beach, as always - thank you!
